IMDb plot summary: When shipping clerk Jack Kelly is recruited by his employer to help his golf game, his boss insists he conceal his humble identity at the country club.
Directed by Charles Reisner. Starring Robert Montgomery, Sarah Y. Mason, and Joseph Farnham.
Love in the Rough is, weirdly, the second golf-centric romantic comedy I've seen in my film trek through the year 1930. In this one, a shipping clerk is invited along on a golf trip by his boss and ends up finding love with another golfer, although he misleads her about his financial situation. All these 1930 rom coms are starting to blend together. They didn't do a lot of varying character traits or set up chemistry between characters in a very interesting way. This one, aside from being golf romance #2, is also pretty uninteresting. At least it breaks up its boring characters with some fun musical numbers, which are done pretty well, even if entirely inconsequential to the story -- in true 1930s musical style. A forgettable but not unpleasant watch, overall.
